It was the same last year and nobody died.

I'm mystified though as to why anyone would drink, never mind pay an exorbitant price for what passes as ale at Old Trafford.

Same here. We usually hit the Oyster Bar early afternoon then recce at the Tollgate around 4. Can manage the OT/GF experience without more ale!

Some piss head done it to my mrs and the kids at the 2013 Challenge Cup, a right d1ck head who couldn't control his kids cause him and his mrs were too drunk.
Sad to say they were from Wigan too.

Alcohol was allowed in the seating areas, but stopped a couple or seasons or so ago as a result of trouble by some supporters at one of the finals which correct me if I am wrong did not involve Wigan.

I was at Old Trafford once when some fellow was so drunk he puked all over the people sitting in the row in front. Not to mention one time being under a golden shower delivered by a load of Liverpool fans "going" into plastic bags and then throwing them over everyone. (that's football for ya)

Beer showers aren't the worst when it comes down to it.

Todd doesn't waste he's by throwing it ..... :wink:
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
